Not strong enough to follow this diet..
well then i guess you are ok with the end results of cancer.
sounds harsh but that is what the general diet the most of the world is on..
good luck to you then.

You and I both know that the majority of Americans are eating the exact opposite of what one would consider a paleo diet. Don't be ridiculous.

To read more about the Paleo diet,

Actually, it is not a good diet

A 2011 ranking by U.S. News & World Report, involving a panel of 22 experts, ranked the Paleo diet lowest of the 20 diets evaluated based on factors including health, weight-loss and ease of following.[24] These results were repeated in the 2012 survey, in which the diet tied with the Dukan diet for the lowest ranking out of 25 diets; U.S. News & World Report stated that their experts "took issue with the diet on every measure".[

Just another fad diet.

Yeah, The "experts"... LOL

"Experts took issue with the diet on every measure."

REALLY? Holf freak'n cow. Every measure? Meat. Vegitalbles. Fruit. Nuts berries. They"take issue" with that?

They like Slimfast etc. You know, the ones where money is to be made. The ones that advertise in magazines. And you don't want to anger the advertisers who shill liquid crap in a can as a subsitute for food. There's a reason they call that junk a meal "subsitute". Ever look at the ingredients? I take issue with THAT crap.

What would happen if the highest ranked "diet" was simply eating Real Food and dumping grains and junk? No money for Slim Fast. No money for Jenny Craig. No money for Weight Watchers. No money for anyone. Makes the ag lobby look bad too. Don't want to offend the grain folks. "cause grains are all "heart healthy and everything. NOT.

So yeah. Vegitables. High Quality meat. Berries. Nuts. Fats. Raw milk. Eggs.

Yup. A real "fad" there... Liquid crap in a can is what they recommend.

My "fad" meal tonight consisted of lightly steamed carrots, broccoli and cauliflower with loads of organic butter on it and pink rock salt and a glass of raw milk and a big slice of salmon. Breafast will be 4-5 eggs (from a local farm) and more raw milk. Or mabe I'll drink a half a can of coconut milk instead.

The "experts"... they really crack me up. They think that you should not eat egg yolks and that raw milk will kill you and should be banned. Those guys/girls crack me up. Especially the fat and/or weak ones. Ones like our current Surgeon General Regina M. Benjamin. Picture of health she is.

Some dude who had a bad experience went and found similar people with similar experiences and is now an expert on nutrition science?

Please. You have no idea what he did wrong to cause his failure, or anybody else who didn't succeed with such a diet.

He's got some good info on his site, but just because he did something wrong or that the diet didn't work for him doesn't mean it's a FAIL.

Yes they are and they are supporting the cancer research
the choice is up to the eater

You're telling me that the majority of Americans are consuming a diet that is 60% Fat, 20% Protein and 10% Carbohydrates? Ok. I'd love to see that statistic.

reply to post by DevolutionEvolvd

and meats feed with all corn
breading and more bread

what are you debating here

reply to post by Lil Drummerboy


My apologies. I thought you were arguing against the paleo diet. Ignore me.

Well unless this diet is the fountain of youth, the end results for all humans, regardless of their diet is death.

How's this for a diet comparison Jack Lalanne, fitness guru died at 96 and Pinetop Perkins, blues piano player, ate all his meals at McDonald's, drank whiskey until he was 85 and smoked from the age of 9 to his dying day at 97.

also to add: When someone says things like "eating healthy is expensive" I say
either pay the hospital and its staff,, or buy good food..

well god forbid you just called that demon on me.
im guessing youre a follower of this diet...where do you take a date out for dinner?

It was the name of the article.

The guy in the article isn't the guy who runs the site.

Im done,
if you choose to die with a cancer that is avoidable then have at it.

and jack lived an awesome life..
anyone his age would be happy to have what he did for health.
THe paleo is basic.. what we should live by,.. not what the USDA suggests as they are more interested in money then your health,

I see you missed the point.

I would rather do what Pinetop did for health, I mean he outlived Jack.

Jack Lallane was a huge proponent of avoiding sugars and eating more fat. As well as working out.

reply to post by DevolutionEvolvd
thank you,.
and this was the point i was getting to with daskakik

reply to post by daskakik


But it's not regardless of diet.

reply to post by DevolutionEvolvd


And the guy that only ate McDonalds, drank like a fish and smoked like a choo-choo train outlived him, so who's example should I follow?

I know that you know that one size does not fit all.

reply to post by daskakik


Still, just because a diet doesn't work for some people doesn't mean it's not meant for most. We have no idea what could have caused that guy to fail.

reply to post by DevolutionEvolvd

Doesn't matter because the diet as presented is flawed because it asks you to cut out things that were part of paleo diet in the form of grains, acorn flour, wild rice and tubers.

High carb foods have been and are part of diets world wide without producing the effects of the american diet so "if it doesn't fit you must acquit".

Grains were NOT a major staple of a paleo diet. The processing without modern day technology made it not worth it. Tubers were eaten, but, again, probably not widely, but in times of caloric scarcity.

In places like Meso-america maize was a major staple. The Incas had a staple of potatoes and rice has been a staple in asia for thousands of years. There is no way of knowing how far back their use goes.
